Laying liquid retaining floors
Liquid retaining floors are a form of soil protection. At sites where hazardous waste can enter and pollute the soil or groundwater, industries may need to install liquid retaining floors. Liquid resistant floors is needed, for example, in transhipment facilities where tanker vehicles are filled with chemicals, or storage facilities for hazardous substances. QUALM lays liquid retaining floors that has no openings to the soil, thus preventing pollution.
Liquid proof provisions
A liquid retaining floor collects leaked and spilled liquids and drains them away safely. Liquid proofing is an addition to your liquid retaining flooring, for example if you have underground mains. Leaks may occur which may pollute the soils. You are then required to place adequate volume collection containers, drip trays and storage containers.
